Welcome to The Needlepoint Joint

Maja's Swedish Mittens

Few things are as cozy on a cool day as having a pair of warm mittens all your own, and there’s a little something special about having knitted them yourself! Knitting mittens is fun and fast; the journey from inspiration to beautiful, eye-catching handmade mittens goes by all too quickly. Maja Karlsson, author of Traditional Swedish Knitting Patterns, is back with over 30 patterns for mittens of all kinds―gusseted, cuffed, ribbed, flip-top, and more. Choose a beautifully intricate classic Swedish design or a quick fun motif inspired by the natural world; work a thick, cozy pair with multi-stranded knitting or light, lacy mittens in a single color. With easy-to-follow charts and gorgeous full-color photography, patterns suited for varying skill levels, and a section with tips and explanations to help the less experienced find their way, this lovely collection is perfect for anyone looking to master the art of knitting mittens.
